Patient's question:
Both hands are transverse hands. Now, when I talk to him, he laughs, but he doesn't seek the sound source, he chews his hands, he can roll sideways, and he's quite cute. I had a low-risk prenatal screening for Down syndrome during my pregnancy. Could the transverse hands of the baby be a sign of Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it can only be preliminarily diagnosed as a newborn deformity, which is unrelated to Down syndrome, as it is caused by a viral infection during pregnancy. Guidelines: Based on your description, the children should adopt a more normal growth pattern, and the hand deformity can gradually recover through future corrective surgery. It is recommended to go to a children's hospital for further detailed examination. Then, follow the doctor's guidance and advice for treatment.
